In 1988, U.S. President Ronald Reagan proclaimed August 21st to be National Senior Citizens Day<\/strong>, a holiday celebrated annually to honor the elderly.<\/p>\n

“For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older.”
\n—–President Ronald Reagan<\/em><\/p>\n

On this day, everyone is encouraged to get in touch with their elderly relatives – aunts and uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers, great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers – or with older friends and neighbors, and show your appreciation for their valuable contributions to your family and your community.<\/p>\n

You can also olunteer at a local senior center, visit a nursing home, or give to an organization<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> that supports and serves the needs of America’s\u00a0senior citizens. How about helping an elderly neighbor care for her pets? Or making time to help a senior citizen you know with chores like mowing the lawn and trimming hedges. There are many ways you can make a real difference in an older person’s life.<\/p>\n

Whatever you do, giving a heartfelt thanks<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> or saying “thinking of you”<\/span><\/a><\/strong> <\/span>with a unique greeting card from Greeting Card Universe is a sure way to make someone’s day a lot brighter.<\/p>\n
